1910 WINCHESTER Model 1886 LIGHTWEIGHT Lever Action .33 WCF REPEATING Rifle
Iconic EARLY 1900s REPEATER JMB
Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 1886 Special Order Lightweight Lever Action Rifle, made in 1910 in New Haven, Connecticut. As of note, Winchester never officially referred to the .33 Caliber Model 1886 rifles as "Lightweight". That stated, the barrel contour for the 24" .33 WCF is nearly identical to the 22" Extra Lightweight 45-70 barrel. The term "Lightweight" as it applies to the .33 WCF caliber Model 1886 was created by the collecting fraternity.
The 1886 was a collaboration between John Moses Browning and his brother, Matthew Sandifer Browning, to build a big game rifle to replace the Model 1876. This was Browning’s first repeating rifle design adopted by Winchester. The 1886 rifle, often called “the best rifle in the world”, even made Theodore Roosevelt, later President of the United States, very fond of the large caliber Model 1886 working rifle during his western adventures on the plains. From 1886 through 1935, almost 160,000 carbines and rifles were produced with calibers that ranged from the smaller 33WCF to the largest, 50-100, with the most popular caliber being the .45-70 and the 45-90. This rifle was a great improvement over the Model 1876. Its shorter, streamlined frame proved very popular and was well received by sportsmen, shooters, and law enforcement groups alike.
The overall condition is very good. Original finish preserved. Strong, crisp action. This example has maintained a nice bright bore with good rifling. The stock is very good and contains an average amount of wear. Legible markings.
